Thinking
Recovering from an adverse effect to a psychotropic drug is like what I imagine coming down from a really bad drug trip would feel like.
For two days solid, my brain had a hangover from too much bad partying for a week straight. My neurons kept throwing up, missing the puke buckets, and shitting crazy talk out of my mouth.
Today, I saw a bit of sunlight again, and the haze caused by the Wellbutrin feels like it has pretty much cleared out of my mind. The upped dose of Prozac has kept me feeling the SAME way all day long, not jumping back and forth between sorta’ okay and freaking out. I’m exhausted, and my body and mind kind of hurt from being used as a dangerous drug’s ball for batting practice… but I’m alive. That’s what matters.
I know it’s the afternoon, but good morning, world. It’s nice to see you again.

I missed you Tamra. I could tell through so of your writings that something was “off”. I am so glad you are off that drug and feeling like your self again.

Good morning! I’m sure you’ll find the right set of drugs for you, but I’m glad yall figured out that wellbutrin wasn’t for you and you did something about it. I was on that one for a short time as a teenager and didn’t have a good expirence with it either.

Thanks! Honestly, just the Prozac by itself does a really good job for me. I tried the Wellbutrin because I was worried the Prozac was killing my sex drive… but you know what… I’d rather have zero sex drive and feel good 95% of the time than deal with the crap that adding a second drug to the mix did to me.
